does it have any Protections: Short circuit / Overload/ Over voltage

It does have short protection. Found that one out on accident as for the rest I don't know

Yes it does but the fan in my first one wasn't working so even though it was no in an overload condition it damaged the capasters in the supply. The company replaced it promptly and now it is working fine. Plenty of power to run two HF rigs at same time.

No it has a built-in overload circuit to prevent damage. I've done it and nothing happened.

Not that I know of. If you haven't already, you may want to check your home circuit breaker/fuse box and ground-fault circuit interrupter (if any) to see if anything has been tripped.

. I use it to protect a 20 Amp 120 volt circuit that has equipment prone to lightning surges. I do not know if approved for house service protection. Ask a pro-electrician .

It has over volt protection.been using for a year no probe on matx a10-5800k with hd6570 dual graphics

Yes it does, but I find the explanation on the box and in the User's Manual to contradict each other. On the box, it says the On/Off switch doubles as a resettable circuit breaker. It says just move switch back to "ON" position to reset. However, in the Manual it says : As a circuit breaker, when it trips due to an overload condition, the ON/OFF Switch goes to the OFF position. Disconnect all connected equipment, and set the ON/OFF position to ON. Reconnect all devices to be protected one at a time. DO NOT reconnect the device that caused the switch to trip. I find that confusing. How are you supposed to know if one of the plugged devices caused it to turn off and if it does how do you determine which one it is? Am I just stupid? In another section it says that this device features an internal protection that will disconnect the surge protective component at the end of its useful life but will maintain power to the load - now unprotected. If this situation is undesirable for the application, follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacing the device. It does have a reset switch, but I am not sure it works after it is hit by a power surge like a lightning strike. Sorry about my ridiculously long answer, but I am somewhat confused by conflicting statements in literature. Good luck!

I have the same issue with one of my switches, it is ON all the time, have seen similar comments, it appears to be a common failure with these units. With that said I view it as an inconvenience not a safety issue. The output is only 12V and as long as each individual output is protected (as described) then each one should trip if it gets shorted or overloaded. However to be safe I would unplug the whole unit anytime you mess with the output wiring.

If it's just a plug strip (non surge protector type) you will be fine, over loading shouldn't be a problem, the GFCI will trip before any damage, then you'll know it's over loaded, just try to keep the power strip to 15 amp current draw. Hope this helps.

Hard to tell from your question exactly what you are planning to do.It certainly can be used to protect one load on a double pole circuit but it should be connected through a breaker on each line.See the instructions at this link-http://www.intermatic.com/~/media/Intermatic/Documentation/Surge%20Protective%20Devices/IG%20Series/IG1240RC3%20Instructions.ashx

Yes, you can use it to protect any electrical unit(s) that do not go over the input rating.

It is not surge protected. I ended going to Home Depot and buying the Leviton T5280 to replace the one that comes with this kit.

It's just like your checking account. You can use any and all of the outputs as long as you don't "overdraw" the available output of the unit. If you do that it will trip circuit breakers.

I don't know for certain. I would contact the manufacturer to find out for sure as you would not want someone to inadvertently power up too many things and cause a fire in your house due to overloading the circuits.

Yes. The purpose of this surge protector is to protect your RV from sudden voltage spikes that can damage your electronics. Breakers wont protect from that.

Yes. Make sure you don't overload this unit, like with a shop vac, etc or the circuit breaker will trip. Great unit.

Tami, I haven't experienced a fuse issue, knock on wood that I don't face the issue. I'm inclined to believe that if the fuse numbers are the same and they continue to blow, then there is an electrical issue that is causing the overload. I'd contact the company and seek their input. Do you know an electrician that you can ask about the issue? Good luck. Woody

It has a low rating for surge protection so it has limited protection for a computer against lightning surges. I use a higher rated surge protector for expensive and sensitive electronics. This is OK for small appliances, etc.
